Many others (including myself) have done the same and got similar results in other threads.

I'd put the cover back on if I were you, but as it's your car, do what you please. If you want more intake noise, get an aftermarket unit.

I know this is an old thread but since my new thread got closed I might as well post here. How is the intake working for you? Is it worth it over a SRI?

Agree. I got an email from them when I asked if they could ship to Aus, This is how the email started off -
Thank you for choosing AEM.

The intake system for the 2012 Ford Focus 2.0 is part # 21-702 and produces 4HP @5200RPM

Are they still unwittingly hurting themselves? I guess we can't know until there is an independent dyno.

How does the AEM sound? When i installed the FSWerks Short Ram, I love the sound, but under load (not sitting in a drive way revving engine), it can create a "fart can" sound at some RPM's. I am getting used to it, but just wasnt expecting it.
